In a sense, the dharma treasures of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, or rather, the Five Heavenly Kingdoms, were more varied than the connate divine weapons of the ancestral land.
This didn't mean that the connate divine weapons of the ancestral land were inferior to the dharma treasures of the Five Heavenly Kingdoms. Instead, the connate divine weapons of the ancestral land were mostly weapons.
For example, the connate divine weapons Zhou Shu forged were almost all sabers and swords.
In the Five Heavenly Kingdoms, there were various dharma treasures. Not only could they be used for combat, but they also had various auxiliary functions.
Just like this small boat.
Of course, there was essentially no difference between a dharma treasure and a connate divine weapon. If Zhou Shu wanted to, he could forge such a small boat.
Zhou Shu was amused. After settling the matter in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, he could also forge some auxiliary connate divine weapons.
This small boat was quite good for transportation.
Boom!
Rumbling sounds came from behind. Clearly, the incarnation of Mu Zhixing, who had stayed behind to cover the retreat, was already fighting Zhan Jingtao again.
Zhou Shu mourned for Zhan Jingtao for three seconds.
Mu Zhixing's incarnation might not be as strong as Zhan Jingtao, but he had many methods. Most importantly, he could self-destruct at the drop of a hat.
Anyone would feel abnormally aggrieved to fight such an opponent.
Zhan Jingtao was really unlucky.
But the more pain the enemy was in, the happier Zhou Shu was.
He couldn't wait for Mu Zhixing's incarnation to severely injure Zhan Jingtao.
While listening to the commotion, Zhou Shu clearly felt the speed of the small boat under his feet increase again.
Ahead, a pitch-black s.p.a.ce seemed to appear.
A moment later, the small boat rushed into the pitch-black s.p.a.ce. Its body lightened, and there was no longer the heavy water of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom surrounding it.
"Where is this?" Zhou Shu asked.
"This is the world outside the Five Heavenly Kingdoms and the ancestral land," Mu Zhixing's incarnation said. "There are no conditions for life here. Ordinary people will die if they stay too long. But with your cultivation, King Zhou, it won't affect you here."
Zhou Shu nodded. "The place you discovered is in this outside world?"
"That's right." Mu Zhixing's incarnation said as he steered the small boat forward. "Only I can find that place."
In the darkness, there was no up or down. People would completely lose their sense of s.p.a.ce here.
Zhou Shu turned around and looked. The Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom was getting farther and farther away from them. From afar, the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom looked like an incomparably huge water ball.
Around the water ball were four other similarly huge spherical worlds.
Surrounded by the five spherical worlds, an even larger spherical world could be vaguely seen. That was the ancestral land.
Perhaps because it was too far away, the ancestral land Zhou Shu saw was a little blurry, as if it was about to fuse into this boundless darkness.
After an unknown period of time, Mu Zhixing's incarnation suddenly spoke. "King Zhou, we're here!"
Zhou Shu looked forward, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
In the darkness ahead, a damaged hall was floating.
The hall was huge. In its perfect state, it should be ten thousand feet wide.
It was flowing quietly in the endless darkness, and it even seemed to be moving slowly.
The damaged walls and roof spoke of its thick history.
"Is this the place you're talking about?" Zhou Shu asked solemnly.
He thought that the place Mu Zhixing was talking about was a smaller world similar to the Origin World.
Unexpectedly, it was just a hall.
"That's right, the Ancient Heavenly Court's Glacial Palace!" Mu Zhixing's incarnation said in a low voice.
"Glacial Palace?" Zhou Shu's expression became slightly strange.
In his previous life, there was a legend of the Glacial Palace on Earth. After transmigrating to this world, this was the first time he had heard that the Ancient Heavenly Court actually had the Glacial Palace.
He was puzzled. Could my experience in my previous life have something to do with this Ancient Heavenly Court?
"That's right. Glacial Palace, the residence of the Supreme Yin Star Lord of the Ancient Heavenly Court."
Mu Zhixing's incarnation continued, "At this point, King Zhou, let me tell you the truth. There's a laurel tree in the Glacial Palace. This laurel tree is an immortal tree. No matter what damage it suffers, it will automatically recover. If you use it to refine dharma treasures, or rather, to forge divine weapons, the divine weapons will never be destroyed.
"King Zhou, this laurel tree should be more than enough to pay for your help this time."
Mu Zhixing looked at Zhou Shu with a burning gaze.
Zhou Shu looked thoughtful. There's also a laurel tree in the Glacial Palace?
This coincided with the legends he had heard in his previous life.
"Are you afraid that I'll s.n.a.t.c.h your things?" Zhou Shu smiled faintly. "Don't worry. I won't go back on my word.
"If this laurel tree is as you say, then I'll take the laurel tree. It's enough."
Mu Zhixing was clearly relieved. Looking at him, he didn't take such a magical laurel seriously.
Zhou Shu wondered why he came to the Glacial Palace.
The Supreme Yin Star Lord, not Chang'e? Zhou Shu thought.
"King Zhou, when we came to the Glacial Palace previously, as soon as we touched the door, we were teleported to your side," Mu Zhixing's incarnation said with a strange expression. As he spoke, he flew forward and landed on the square, which was in rubble.
